Designing a Prerequisite Course for a Computer Information Systems Program in a Computer Science Curriculum

We are designing a new Computer Information Systems program in our department. Being housed in the Computer Science Department, this program will emphasize more solid technical knowledge of software and hardware than traditional Information Systems programs housed in business schools. In order to strengthen the programming background of our students, a prerequisite course covering skills in word processing, spreadsheet, and database systems as well as programming techniques is very desirable. We are converting an existing general education course for non-Computer Science majors to such a prerequisite course for our new Computer Information Systems program.

Keywords: Computer Information Systems, CIS, prerequisite course, Java programming
